Participants will work in teams to reproduce the results of a published paper using its replication folder, conduct robustness checks, and write a report assessing its reproducibility and replicability. Completed reports will earn team members co-authorship on a Games meta-paper.

Replication Games are one-day events designed for faculty members, early-career researchers, and graduate students to enhance their understanding of good practices in open science while networking in a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

through referee reports and other services, but that's pretty much it. Happy to jump on a zoom call and show you my tax reports. The other coauthors handling most of the data analysis are my postdoc fellows and PhD student.

Also, none of us (core group in Canada) is getting paid by anyone other than uOttawa. No $$ for doing replication other than our base salary at uOttawa. My (Abel) salary is publicly available on sunshine list: www.canadasunshinelist.ca/ontario/empl.... I made a bit more than that ...

the Universities of Toronto, Ottawa, Cornell, and Tilburg." On a personal note, views about AI at I4R vary widely from Abel (chair) disliking AI to Bruno (researcher) loving it. We will email once more all authors about the possibility to release a corrected COS, cc'ing you tomorrow. ...

SSHRC and previously Sloan. We wrote "This research and AI replication games were funded by Coefficient Giving project “Benchmarking LLM agents on real-world tasks: Reproducibility” and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Foundation grant G-2023-22326. We also benefited from funding to host games from...

Concerning the main coauthors at I4R (those who mostly did the empirical analysis and conception), we have no COI related to AI groups. We have no existing or previous relationship with AI/tech groups. Our funding for this project and other projects come almost entirely from Coefficient Giving...

Thanks for the feedback and checking our paper. We are happy to issue a correction if coauthors did not mention competing interest. Many drafts of the papers circulated to all coauthors and we asked them to release COI if necessary. Only a few did as you note...

Full call for papers: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal... Please share!

We also invite short commentaries (<4,000 words) informed by recent developments in the economics meta-scientific community. These are typically solicited — but you can email a proposal (max 500 words) to request an invitation to contribute.

4️⃣ Methodological papers: new tools for assessing robustness, synthesizing evidence, or improving transparency — incl. pre-analysis plans & pre-specification 5️⃣ Survey articles taking stock of what we've learned about reproducibility, replication & meta-science

We welcome five types of contributions: 1️⃣ Replications & reproductions of influential or policy-relevant work, incl. large-scale or coordinated efforts 2️⃣ Meta-analyses, meta-science & systematic reviews 3️⃣ Research on barriers to reproducibility & biases in knowledge generation

Questions about the credibility and cumulative nature of economic research have never been more central. This issue brings together work assessing the robustness of published findings, documenting research practices, and synthesizing evidence across studies.

11/ The stars help us navigate. Good scientists change their minds. May the Force be with all Jedi replicators ⭐ And all our love to Melody Gardot.

10/ And closes with a quote attributed to Leonardo da Vinci "He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind." For 13 years, we thought that was a fitting ending. Now, we are even more convinced that science works best when we are willing to do the opposite.

9/ There is one final twist. Star Wars: The Empirics Strike Back opens with a quote from @mgardot www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpXq... And closes with a quote often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci

8/ 13 years later, the Force is still strong with Star Wars. And today the paper is a little better than it was yesterday. Corrigendum: www.aeaweb.org/content/file... Original paper: docs.iza.org/dp7268.pdf

7/ If we want a healthier research culture, we need fewer incentives to defend every line we've ever written and more incentives to update when new information arrives.
